Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Connecticut is one of the great entries from a collaboration between Erik Espinosa and Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri.
This Connecticut jewel utilizes a beautiful Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper encasing Nicaraguan filler and binder leaves creating a subtle yet flavorful cigar. The results are as expected.
Halfwheel exclaims this cigar is “a flavor bomb of almost epic proportions” “Rich notes of roasted peanuts and sweet cloves combine with a well-integrated strength level that falls just shy of the medium mark.”
Blind Man’s Puff rates it a 91. Their words are spot on. “The smoke is so silky and soft on the palate. The The finish is still very long with some nice cinnamon ticking the tip of the tongue. Flavors and construction were all good throughout.”
No doubt this third entry of the now famous Knuckle Sandwich line is another hit. If you’re a fan of Espinosa cigars and appreciate a more milder smoke, this one is for you.

Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Habano is one of the great entries from a collaboration between Eric Espinosa and Celebrity Chef Guy Fieri.
All of these cigars come out of A.J. Fernández’s northernmost San Lotano factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua. The Ecuadorian Habano wrapper encases a very special all-Nicaraguan tobaccos throughout the binder/filler. In fact, this blend was 18 months in the making. The results speak for themselves.
With this in mind, Noted reviewer KATMAN and Cigar Dojo score it a 91.
Cigar Aficionado rated this great cigar a 93. They feel is a spectacular smoke. They say, “ The Corona Gorda produces a dense, ample smoke full of pistachio, almond and orange peel notes. Spicy accents of red and black pepper—and a big snap of leather—lead to a smoked hickory finish.”
It’s no surprise this one became a top 25 cigar for the year as well.

The Crowned Heads Mil Días Marranitos 2022 Limited Edition is proof that changing the wrapper can create a whole new cigar.
While the internal blend of this 2022 cigar remains the same as the others in the line, the big difference is the wrapper. This special edition replaces the Ecuadorian habano leaf with a dark and smooth Ecuadorian Sumatra maduro. The result is a whole new dimension of flavor profiles. Think roasted coffee beans, creamy oak, barnyard, grass, toasted bread, cocoa nibs, and maple sweetness, along with some bits of black pepper and spice. In fact, the highly critical folks at Halfwheel declare it an extremely enjoyable flavor bomb of a blend.
Yet again, there’s no doubt this cigar is another top pick!

The Viva La Vida is a very unique addition to the AJ Fernandez portfolio.
What’s important to note is this cigar began as a collaboration between AJ and two respected tobacconists in 2015. While this brand is technically not an A.J. brand itself, the box does say “AJ Fernandez” on it. Now its part of the company’s lineup and has become a very popular smoke.
When noted reviewer KATMAN gave it a 96 rating, his description was short and sweet. ” A true flavor bomb encrusted with pearls of colored spices.” Add this to Blind Man’s Puff ‘s respectable score of 93 and more than kind words as well. “This was an excellent cigar! This is the kind of cigar you look forward to smoking all day, and when you do sit down to smoke it…it delivers!” What more do you need to know!
